I need to learn how to dance!!?

Question:I am a 12 year old boy and this girl that I am going out with wants me to dance with her at the dance (which is in about 20 days), except I'm not...the best...dance ever. (I stink) This is a school dance so there won't be any robots, slow dancing, or anything like that. The songs they play or mostly pop, hip-hop/rock, hip-hop rap, and stuff like SOulja Boy, Kanye West, once in a while they play classic songs like Cotton Eyed Joe or Ain't no mountain high enough. I plan on dancing for about 3 minutes at a time with her about several times throughout the dance, she is about 5'1 and im about 4'11. Please help me learn dances like the GRIND (I need to learn that) and maybe SOME slow danceing (nothing like totally romantic) just for like teens, and fast dancing! PLEASE HELP!

PS Whoever gives me the answer im looking for first, I WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST ANSWER

ok grinding is rlly easy. its almost like giving a hug from behind. stand behind her and put your hands on her hips and move your hips from side to side and shell follow. you must be close to her (ie. her back touching your chest, or her bum touching you) so be as close as a hug.

slow dancing...the girl will put her hands on your shoulders and you put yours on her hips and move side to side and shell follow. be as close as you feel comfortable

fast dancing: for dances like soulja boy and aint no mountain high and cotton eyed joe, the best advice i have is to youtube those dances. there rlly easy to catch on and step by step

good luck cutie!

Good luck :]

you have to fill the music like it is a part of you

heyy.....
I know ur probably nervous and all, but calm down. Everthing will be all right. 1st of all for slow dancing you need to be comfortable w/ your date. Then gently put your arms lightly around her shoulders and swing side to side really sofly. Act as if you are cradling a baby!
Good Luck!
PS i am not a dance teacher i am actually almost the same age as u!!!
